Distraction time again
So, who is thinking of going to the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror event at Alexandra Palace, 23/24 July?

Holy crap, sensible wedding advice shocker!

Just can't win.
Jesus H. Christ, there's no let-up in the stereotyping of women both on and off the screen, is there?
Having enjoyed 3 parts of 'Episodes', I noticed iPlayer had linked to a few reviews, including this mostly-decent 'Dabbler' review. Tum-tee-tum, until I got to the final paragraph:
